Start of #Exalted buffer: Tue Aug 04 13:18:12 2009 [18:43:24] Alright, I think we're good to start now, unless we want to wait for Rusty [18:43:41] * MattyQ is now known as Plow [18:43:55] * Demota is now known as Eilenia [18:44:01] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Eilenia [18:44:05] * Yon is now known as Paera [18:44:10] Gametable is up [18:45:04] * Plow trying to get GT working... [18:46:46] Dem, your IP hasn't changed, has it? [18:46:51] GT refuses to connect. =( [18:46:56] 71.202.41.240 port 6812 [18:47:01] Ahh [18:47:02] kay [18:47:04] * NovaSeaker is now known as Eve_Kasnora [18:47:04] I had the wrong IP [18:47:51] So're we gonna Mark the Red this? [18:48:09] Nah, we're gonna fuckface the sickpipe [18:48:11] haha [18:48:24] @_@ [18:48:34] Can someone drop a Plow pog for me? [18:48:35] I can't remember if Charles saw The Gamers or not. I think he did [18:48:56] ... odd [18:48:59] Where'd all my pogs go? [18:48:59] I did, I just couldn't remember references from a movie I saw once a few years ago [18:49:04] Heh [18:49:23] I had tons of pogs. :/ [18:49:28] They're gone and I don't know where [18:49:44] Just use that old Visions of Avarice pog [18:49:56] I think it would be funny if Plow was just always there and just hadn't spoken in, you know, a month [18:50:04] I wanna use the frog. [18:50:20] brought out another frog [18:50:26] Ta. [18:50:34] Thanks [18:51:44] Hahahah, HellMOO added a weildable bible that generates chapter and verse when you attack someone with it [18:52:02] Tahin [to Sozar]: Exodus 21:20-21: If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property. [18:52:08] ahahaha [18:53:07] ahaahaha wow [18:53:08] Tahin smacks DocAquatic with his Holy Bible! [18:53:08] Tahin [to DocAquatic]: Leviticus 20:10: If a man commits adultery with another man's wife with the wife of his neighbor, both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death. [18:53:47] Matt: The channel's #Odal [18:54:04] Matt? :{ [18:54:20] Here, sorry. [18:56:00] Am I pre-initiative-ing? [18:56:54] * Mechazawa (rustangel@ip-117-113.atvci.net) has joined #Exalted [18:56:56] Oi [18:56:58] (Gonna be just a touch slow in posting) [18:57:05] Sorry bout that/ [18:57:12] * Mechazawa is now known as Xan [18:57:15] Hey [18:57:19] Heyo [18:57:21] [18:56:05] * When we last left our heroes, they had driven off the dragon that tried to eat them, and stole his life's savings as compensation [18:57:21] [18:56:18] * We rejoin our adventure already in progress [18:57:21] [18:56:59] * Mechazawa (rustangel@ip-117-113.atvci.net) has joined #Odal [18:57:21] [18:57:12] * Mechazawa is now known as Xan [18:57:25] Anyone want to catch Matt up on recent events [18:58:13] what do we do with Cecil? [18:58:24] Whats the last thing you remember Matt? [18:58:38] cecil hops off for further adventures. [18:59:27] * Eilenia nods [18:59:33] We should probably get his departure mentioned even DM-summary wise [18:59:35] for continuity. [18:59:48] Uh [18:59:58] I was here at the very end of last story arc [19:00:19] and then, I just know very little. [19:01:36] Okay, well [19:01:48] I guess I should be in the Feywild, though; [19:01:55] have I just been tagging along, or am I away somewhere? [19:02:01] Actually, we have a narrative log that summarizes everything up to this arc, though [19:02:05] Your choice, I guess [19:02:05] oh! [19:02:10] kay. [19:02:14] The group took a month-long break [19:02:59] It could be that you took some time off after Horbek's Glory [19:03:16] Oh yeah! [19:03:22] Heee... [19:03:23] And found your way to Ivorgard because it used to be a center of learning [19:03:35] And found it all fucked up and ended up bumping into former adventurers [19:03:58] Loose bits of campaign that could probably get used somewhere. [19:03:58] Cecil from Odal's Fen session 30 [19:03:58] Danitharas from the Sunday WotC Modules game. [19:03:58] Uldar from the Sunday WotC MOdules game [19:03:58] The doppelganger from Harborhead in Odal's Fen. [19:04:05] Does this seem to cover all the "loose" PCs? [19:04:07] * Eve_Kasnora still has that mental image of Eve, Elena, and Paera just scrunching up their faces like >-< and flailing their way across a grassy open field. [19:04:15] hahahaah [19:04:22] Why? [19:04:28] "Fits" of adventure. [19:04:40] aaah [19:06:25] Oh, Matt, we ran into Elena's teacher back at Odal's Fen. [19:06:31] She got a Tolerable grade. :D [19:06:55] silver orb? [19:07:10] I don't think that's something you should be proud of. [19:07:19] It is from him. [19:07:30] Oh, one of THOSE [19:07:37] Know how he shoots bursts of silver liquid in his attacks? [19:07:44] * MattyQ (matthewwil@ool-4571fda3.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #Exalted [19:07:47] Oh. [19:07:50] I thought that was sperm. :| [19:07:58] gah [19:07:58] ( BUCKETS ) [19:08:02] Man, I had one of those teachers, and he gave me an A on my animation in games final. Thats when I knew I finally found an aspect of game design I was good at. [19:08:13] :D [19:08:18] Well, don't let yourself get rusty on it. [19:08:19] hahahaha ew [19:08:33] * MattyQ is now known as Plow2 [19:08:50] * Plow (matthewwil@ool-4571fda3.dyn.optonline.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) [19:08:51] I thought the silver liquid was just us mistaking his organic darts for quicksilver [19:08:54] If you let yourself fall behind in the tech, you'll have lost your college education, basically [19:08:56] * Plow2 is now known as Plow [19:09:42] Not really. It was something I was genuinely talented in. I'd just need to learn the programs, but it's not something I can lose. [19:09:55] Do somethiiiiiing. [19:09:59] Funny thing, my drawings get better over the years, even though I don't practice. [19:10:05] heh [19:10:15] It is called being visually oriented, I guess? [19:10:17] I can not draw for 2 years, and my next drawing is better than my last. [19:10:28] Heal check? [19:10:31] I think so. I'm very good as spatial depth and proportion. [19:10:47] I'm not sure what I'm good at. :nyoron: [19:11:46] 1d20+11 [19:11:47] Paera rolls 1D20+11: 15 +11 = 26 [19:12:09] Hahaha [19:12:09] [ HellMOO is shareware. Please consider donating. ] [19:12:09] [ We need the money to give to a bigger kid who threatened to beat us up. ] [19:12:19] hahaha [19:13:05] hey Yon [19:13:21] When you give a healing word, it's 5+2d6+Surge Value, right? [19:14:42] Oh Eve you card [19:14:44] It's 1d6 [19:15:44] Is this when Eve tries to save Xan by biting him and turning him into a Paladin? [19:16:06] haha [19:16:19] Hahahah [19:16:51] Plow's pog is back [19:17:48] hahahaha [19:17:57] thanks [19:18:20] Imma steal a healing word from Paera, Yon, so we'll double-rest to get you back up to 2 ready. [19:18:22] 1d6 [19:18:22] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D6: 4 [19:18:31] I'm at full HP [19:21:49] ip and such? also, we using the new gt? [19:21:55] RC4 [19:22:13] 71.202.41.240 port 6812 * Retrieving #Exalted modes... [19:22:17] Dude, rc7 is up, and I've already installed it. Hopefully i can join [19:22:27] Can you reinstall the old one? [19:22:33] We didn't really agree to start using RC7 yet [19:22:34] Yep [19:22:37] rc7? [19:22:42] Looks like rc7 is backwards compatible. [19:22:45] Oh, awesome [19:22:45] They made a new version of gametable? [19:22:49] yep. [19:22:54] at the sourceforge site [19:23:43] Rusty: What's his shoulder look like? [19:23:56] not the website for the gametable? [19:24:17] His shoulder isn't there. [19:24:35] So its removed all the way to his socket [19:24:40] Yep. [19:25:48] How much does a jar cost? Or can we just assume I have one somewhere? [19:26:33] I would think a jar is negligible cost [19:26:45] I think 5th level is where we just start assuming we have whatever mundane gear we need [19:27:20] Honestly, I won't begrudge you a jar [19:27:37] At least, 5th level is where the "1 higher, 1 equal, and 1 lower level magic item, gold equal to 1 lower, and whatever mundane equipment you want" rule starts working. [19:28:05] Where's Eve going? [19:29:04] Charles, 4e sucks because they don't have prices for jars. It's too gamey! I want total immersion into mundane aspects of real life! [19:29:33] Matt: Don't worry, I'm measuring the contacts of that jar EXACTLY [19:29:39] Initially she was just walking away from the two of them to stand a bit away from them [19:29:44] Phew. [19:29:55] But since you asked as if she was actually going somewhere, I figure she'd off to make herself useful. [19:30:15] I suppose I will find some serendipitous place to make an appearance. [19:30:24] The narrative log is on GoogleDocs, yes? [19:30:50] Yeah. My website has links to it too [19:30:53] Elena had a firefly in a jar? [19:31:04] It's sort of..holographic. [19:31:10] It follows him around. [19:32:02] It looks liquid, and like it should be manipulable, but as if it's being projected from somewhere else. [19:32:21] Hahahaha oh HellMOO [19:32:26] "The stumbling crackhead eats the severed head of a retarded crackhead." [19:32:44] Wow, let's catch the orb and leave him bleeding, eh?:P [19:32:58] We're in the Feywild now, neh? [19:33:03] Yeah [19:33:06] And Paera's healing him. [19:33:17] Paera been healing you, dude [19:33:29] Oh, cool. Sweet, thanks! [19:33:32] And Eve is leaving the party. :( [19:33:41] Eve is not leaving [19:33:41] I guess I'll have wandered off from the group at some point, since it seems silly to just suddenly be all, "Oh, hey, I could heal too." [19:33:44] She was looking for tracks of hunters [19:33:54] She's making sure there's no one coming after Xan [19:34:09] And no one is. [19:34:43] Alrighty. She'll probably come back sometime after your concious then, for drama purposes [19:35:10] I'll wake up whenever [19:35:25] After some time passes [19:35:31] I used a fairy on you. >:( [19:35:38] I'd like to see what Xan has to say to Paera and Elena without Eve there, honestly. [19:35:40] haha [19:35:42] hahahaha [19:35:55] Hahahaha, I didn't even realize that [19:36:04] me neither [19:36:15] I wonder how, it was super-obvious :V [19:38:04] ... hurr. I forgot that Sprites aren't necessarily balls of light. [19:38:19] The effect is appreciated, though. [19:38:43] Where's Plow again? [19:38:48] Uh. [19:38:51] Wandering the Feywild? [19:39:02] Following Xan. @_@ [19:39:09] From a distance. [19:39:21] But close, in the heart. [19:39:28] If we had Plow seperate from the others, he might have just got lost in the Feywild, yeah [19:39:48] And the nature of the feywild promotes weird coincidences (like a frog showing up to keep you from getting eaten by a dragon) [19:40:07] I figured I would find a good point for Plow to be all, "Hey guys." [19:42:30] Heh [19:42:45] So what did Plow say to us when he wandered off back to Harborhead? [19:43:00] Are we saying he went back there for the month-long-break? [19:43:19] When did you guys cross to the Feywild? [19:43:29] This morning [19:43:35] Barely an hour ago [19:43:42] (in game) [19:43:50] Oh. That's much sooner than I thought. [19:43:57] or, much more recently, rather. [19:44:05] * Eve_Kasnora nods. [19:44:44] A warforged in the feywild just makes me think of the Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz [19:44:56] I always thought of Plow as TIn Man. [19:45:19] But like, Tin Man's serious uncle. The one who thought Tin Man didn't amount to anything. [19:45:46] Hahaha [19:47:28] hahahahahaha [19:48:04] "But Uncle Plow! I have a heart!" "And?" ._. [19:48:51] Hahaha [19:49:21] Hahahaha [19:49:32] Hm. Do I want Metroid Prime Tirlogy at Gamestop or Amazon? They both give poster,s but Gamestop also gives a shirt. But Amazon's cheaper, and I feel less guilty about doing business with them [19:50:23] I think Gamestop is praying for any business they can get nowadays. [19:50:23] Eve only kills animals with ah high capture level [19:51:00] Eve only kills things that haven't been slated for inclusion in a Player's Handbook :V [19:52:00] :V [19:52:09] Orcs are still fair game! [19:52:17] Hahaha [19:52:37] Man, when/if Orcs get put in a PHB as a core playable race, the grognards will *shit themselves* [19:52:40] And I'm keeping minotaurs on the list. Screw the PHB3 :colbert: [19:53:02] Minotaurs are set for PHB3? I thought all we knew was Wilden and Githzeri [19:53:07] *githzerai [19:55:05] Minotaurs are on the cover [19:55:38] 1d20+9 Insight! [19:55:39] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20+9: 7 +9 = 16 [19:55:46] Eve believes him! :V [19:55:55] Charles, do you know if the Never Nude trait in Sims 3 is a reference to Tobias in Arrested Development? [19:56:01] It is, yeah [19:56:06] That's aweosme. [19:56:08] *awesome. [19:56:09] They even wear cutoffs instead of being naked [19:56:11] (had to make the active check cause she was actively scrutinizing his answer) [19:56:18] hahaha [19:57:35] PLOW! GO GO GO GO [19:57:46] Arrrrms, you say? [19:58:09] Eve's thinking "artifical people, artificial limbs.... kinda similar!" [19:58:31] Could I craft an arm? [19:58:57] I don't see why not, though you should probably ask Rusty if he wants you to bash out some arms for him [19:59:07] (Also, where are you guys, geographically - what's it look like?) [19:59:18] (I just don't want to stumble out of woods when you're on a mountain, ro something) [19:59:31] A beautiful forest winter wonderland [19:59:37] Oh, it's on the edge of a forest, in the winter [19:59:56] To the... south, I think, is a massive field of some kind of monuments [19:59:59] So wait... [20:00:05] Towers? A graveyard? Who knows? [20:00:07] Xan is carrying around a piece of Limbo. [20:00:14] How did you guys get into the Feywild? [20:00:15] As in the Great Wheel chaotic neutral axis plane. [20:00:23] Through an archway [20:00:23] Choatic Neutral? D: [20:00:40] Zerths are lawful. [20:00:46] yeah [20:00:49] They control limbo in order to make the Karach. [20:01:04] Nowadays they live in the elemental chaos [20:01:33] I was wondering if you're calling it the Limbo cause we're running with the idea that the planes USED to be the Great Wheel and something happened to make it the World Axis [20:01:34] Oh, yeah. The deal with this place, Matt, is that the town's torn apart on a fundamental level, so the world, shadowfell, and feywild are bleeding together [20:01:42] Ohh. [20:01:58] Geez, I'm not really sure how to wander in here. [20:01:59] So, like, doorways and arches and any other kind of enclosed portal can lead between the planes [20:02:04] I figured LImbo is in the Astral Sea [20:02:06] Oh. [20:02:17] Maybe wandering in isn't hard, then. [20:02:17] Also, time's past for it, but I was really just hoping for "...warforged like Plow." "Hey guys!" ._. [20:02:33] I missed my cue! [20:02:43] I told you to GO GO GO GO [20:02:51] * Plow comes running up, panting - "H-hey gu*cough* guys!" [20:02:51] yeah :( [20:02:56] hahaha [20:02:57] Plow hates uuuuuus [20:03:03] Plow doesn't cough! [20:03:04] Personally, I think if we have the Great Wheel in any part of the backstory, it'll be something before even the current world and gods. Like, how a lot of creation myths have a lack of world before the world [20:03:06] He has no lungs! [20:03:10] THATS A FAKE PLOW! [20:03:14] GET'IM! [20:03:26] You guys beat up my stunt double. o_o [20:05:03] Is the transition through the arch sudden? Or do you know that you're entering the Feywild when you go through it? [20:05:11] Can the word "Shouldered" really apply to Xan anymore? [20:05:16] Hahaha. [20:05:23] It's sudden, yeah [20:05:24] Cause he's got no arms! [20:05:29] <_< [20:05:39] Unlike most portals, you can't tell you're going to another place until you go through [20:06:32] "Guilt is a blessing in disguise, Xan. It is being your conscience. Listen to it. And why haven't you talked to your mother recently? You never call, you never write..." [20:06:58] :V [20:08:26] Is it wrong that I sort of picture Xan's hands returning like Eyerok now? D: [20:08:37] http://www.mariowiki.com/Eyerok [20:08:50] I'll assume I just wandered through another entrance that coincidentally brought us nearby each other? [20:09:37] Sure [20:09:58] Oh, and the Feywild has this effect caleld the Bright Beauty [20:10:07] Do I need sunglasses? [20:10:12] Cause all I have is reading spectacles. [20:10:13] All emotions are heightened and everything in general is more extreme [20:10:29] Nova: Then she bites his neck and he becomes a Paladin, right? :| [20:10:54] Oh, cool. Plow actually had a better reason to be startled. [20:11:24] Ahahahah "Lets use THIS CHAIR leg to achieve victory! Option 2" [20:11:55] * MZ (rustangel@ip-117-113.atvci.net) has joined #Exalted [20:12:05] ....Aahahahaha, in HellMOO, some goons broke into a guy's apartment to rob it, but realized it was actually a shithole and a total mess with nothing worth taking [20:12:13] So they decorated his apartment for him [20:12:26] Re [20:12:30] hahaha [20:13:35] ... [20:13:38] Was it mine? [20:13:46] Because, my apartment was basically a trash dump. [20:14:04] * Xan (rustangel@ip-117-113.atvci.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) [20:14:11] WEre we expecting Plow to rejoin us? [20:14:13] * MZ is now known as Xan [20:14:18] Or did he just go off to Harborhead saying goodbye? [20:14:32] He probably had some arcane reason for wandering away. [20:14:46] That phrase isn't as useful, since "arcane" is actually a thing in DnD... [20:15:15] I guess I said I wasn't expecting it so soon, but I didn't think it was permanent, so... [20:15:16] yeah. [20:15:17] You probably don't have an apartment anymore. :/ [20:15:28] It's okay. It was filled with TVs and trash. [20:15:47] _|_|[]_|_| Apt 401 (Robosteve's place) (bradbury 4th floor) 10:18pm [20:15:48] _|[]_|[]_| The wallpaper is a lovely floral pattern set upon a pastel [20:15:48] _|_|()_|_| background. Lillies and roses dot the image, but prominently [20:15:48] _|_|_|_|_| displayed in the center of the wall are the letters 'DRS' spelled [20:15:48] _|_|_|_|_| out in blossoming roses. Moonlight trickles in through the [20:15:49] windows. [20:15:49] ... [20:15:51] Written on the "DRS cleaned my apartment!" poster, you read: [20:15:51] DRS pimped my house! Fucking skum! [20:15:54] HEY NOVA [20:15:55] http://hlj.com/product/MAX06099 [20:15:58] hahahahahahah [20:16:03] They ACTUALLY GOT HIM NEW CUSTOM WALLPAPER [20:16:06] That's awesome [20:16:59] Thats a really cool figure [20:17:04] I wasn't much of an Aegis fan though [20:17:12] What I like is that they didn't just rearrange his stuff [20:17:21] oh my god http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?t=465192 [20:17:25] They actually bought furniture and containers and trucked them all over [20:17:28] Yeah [20:17:46] And made custom wallpaper and put it up. Like, they literally just broke in and made his apartment better in every way [20:17:48] haha [20:19:00] In the process of this, they also managed to con some other player out of a lot of money in return for cybernetics, then robbed and murdered that player [20:19:06] That's a HellMOO triple threat [20:19:16] hahahahh [20:21:08] Hahhaha [20:21:09] I gotta say, that girl is odd. I get conflicted about screwing with people. On one hand, she thought a corporate discipline implant was an awesome and rare item worth 250,000 Hellbux and thus inviting her to Robosteve's mid-mission to get shot in the head was too tempting to pass up. On the other hand, we did kill a newbie. Later I explained to her that the stuff she had was actually worthless and gave her money so she wouldn't rage quite so hard, a [20:21:09] As for Robosteve's apartment, I am mostly proud of our efficiency, as a total home makeover took very little time and was really done right. We are already known as titans of grief. I feel it appropriate to make sure the Player Community knows that we excel at spreading joy as well, when we so desire. [20:21:24] hahahahahh [20:21:34] I thought Xan just said he couldn't fight? [20:22:36] He'll kill himself quicker if he does. [20:22:49] Gotcha [20:22:59] http://robo-moe.com/mahoro.jpg [20:24:21] We totally need to find the symbiotes doing weird shit to people later. [20:24:30] So Xan can have his vengence. [20:24:49] They can get pretty big [20:24:58] They can even overtake someone'd body completely. [20:25:03] So you've said, yeah [20:25:04] So. [20:25:09] How long until we fight Venom? [20:25:20] Coldheart? D: [20:26:10] It's not pooling. It's like having a big parasitic bug or lobster on your arm [20:26:27] Rusty, did you have an idea with where you wanted to take the armless thing, or do you want to explore artificed replacement arms in the future? [20:26:42] I've got a backstory for one arm. [20:26:52] Cool. [20:26:55] The other one can be left up to you guys [20:27:04] Like, group vote? [20:27:12] We should all come up with ideas. [20:27:27] I say Warforge him. [20:27:29] Like a plant arm, a wooden arm.. [20:27:37] A bust of Alex Trebec. [20:27:41] hahahaha [20:27:42] Some sort of runic magical arm [20:27:46] a shotgun. [20:27:50] Hahaha [20:27:58] Or a chainsaw. [20:28:04] Charles would be obligated to bring in zombies. [20:28:09] I JUST started playing Madworld today. :| [20:28:14] No, no, no. [20:28:18] You're all thinking too small. [20:28:38] o_O [20:28:40] I have an idea. [20:28:43] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAga2AjfZlg [20:28:48] He needs THIS [20:28:48] Push Xan's shoulder-stump into the ground. [20:29:00] The world becomes his new arm [20:29:05] hahahahahha [20:29:12] The arm of a saint, huh? [20:30:22] Hahaha [20:30:33] Aw, Godhand... [20:30:36] Or it can be made completely of Liquid silver encased in some sort of glass [20:30:54] I thought this was up to us. :colbert: [20:31:12] I'm just throwing some ideas out there. [20:31:43] Hahahah [chatnet] fury says, "go ahead vik, come to the house" [20:31:44] [chatnet] fury says, "i'm gonna wait on my patio for you" [20:31:44] 50 on Senso (#288705) // Fri Jan 16 08:52:10 2009 [20:31:44] CST [20:31:44] // From: fury [20:31:45] oh fuck he landmined my patio [20:31:53] Hahaha [20:32:17] hahaha [20:32:44] And then Notdeadyet, the head of my corporation, has been filling people's houses with bears. God, I forgot how good this game was [20:32:47] Maybe Xan can metaphorically bite off Eve's arm while he chases her through a volcano. :| [20:33:19] hehehehehe [20:33:22] The only person missing is that doppelganger we met back in Harborhead. [20:33:22] * Eilenia waits. [20:33:22] "Who?" [20:33:24] Get it? [20:33:32] :V [20:33:36] No :( [20:34:00] What screenname was I changing into for my other game in #Prologue? [20:35:00] Oh [20:35:07] :V:V [20:35:28] (this is me being retardedly amused by my self-referencing joke) [20:35:33] :V:V [20:35:36] brb [20:35:44] cigaret [20:35:54] "cigarret"? [20:36:49] cigarette? [20:37:05] "Cigars for pussies" [20:39:08] [20:36:56] oooh, neat <--- Not intended to be said IC. [20:39:13] Though you guys probably can't tell [20:39:16] Haha [20:39:19] I just sort of went with it. [20:39:23] Hahaha [20:39:27] I really couldn't [20:39:30] haha [20:39:45] Hahahah, from the HellMOO ettiquette file regarding sex in the game: [20:39:45] ------------------ [20:39:45] WRONG : Bob says, Hello sir, would you like to engage in consensual procreation with me? [20:39:45] RIGHT : Bob says, hey faggot here comes my cock!!! [20:39:45] ------------------ [20:40:14] Hahahaha [20:40:15] hahahahahaha [20:40:38] hahahahaha [20:40:52] I always wondered what I was doing wrong in that game... [20:42:59] Hahaha man [20:43:07] I just remembered the first time we met up in that game [20:43:16] Oh, jeezus. Haha [20:43:17] back [20:43:19] And I just kept trying to rape your character, and you kept escaping [20:43:32] So I compromised and raped a passing newbie while Jackson Pollock watched [20:43:49] hahahaha [20:43:59] It was all very inspiring. [20:44:28] Well, at least you started the game off on the right foot. [20:44:28] Yeah, in a Kitty Genovese sort of way. :| [20:44:31] Hahah [20:44:59] http://i28.tinypic.com/33jpc3r.jpg Speaking of kitties, I feel the need to link this again [20:45:34] Hahaha [20:45:42] Man, are animated jpgs a new thing? [20:46:14] Nah. It's really a gif [20:46:21] But it got renamed to jpg [20:46:27] Hahaha, "Gilmore ripped off my dick and it won't come back even when I die :frogsiren:" [20:46:43] The file's structure gets recognized by firefox as a .gif and reads it accordinglty [20:46:44] hahahah [20:47:36] How long did the Ivorgard people tell us this place was like this? [20:48:15] A while now. Like, maybe eight or nine months or a little longer [20:49:46] How long have we been traveling? [20:49:59] Like... 3-4? [20:51:37] Let's see [20:51:52] IIRC, the prologue took about a month and a half [20:52:03] Then the winter was skipped. It's early spring now [20:52:35] Hahahahha [20:52:37] Oh, I guess shaking soda machines is a bad idea? I'm trapped under one now, and as amusing as hell as this situation is I'd love to be able to move again. Maybe i should take a chance by praying, but ill probably be exploded or sent to somewhere with a really strong monster, which would be funny too i guess. [20:52:38] edit: Hahaha, I prayed to Osiris and the following happens: [20:52:38] code: [20:52:38] Osiris booms, "YOU HAVE SUMMONED ME." [20:52:38] Twiminy says, "Hi, sure did." [20:52:39] A dark, imposing presence with the eyes of a crocodile and a malicious, toothy grin. [20:52:39] Osiris is spattered with tiny droplets of dried blood. [20:52:41] He is 10,000 years old. [20:52:41] Twiminy asks, "would you be a dear and get this offa me?" [20:52:43] Osiris booms, "AS YOU REQUEST." [20:52:43] Osiris lifts the Bebop Cola machine off of Twiminy. [20:52:45] YOU'RE FREE! [20:52:45] Twiminy says, "hey man you're the best god of the underworld ever" [20:52:47] Osiris booms, "DO NOT WASTE OSIRIS'S TIME." [20:52:47] Osiris grabs Twiminy's leg and snaps it effortlessly with his bare hands. [20:52:49] AUGH! Something snapped in your leg! [20:52:49] Your battered body convulses in adrenaline shock and an overload of pain. [20:52:51] Osiris heads west. [20:53:12] Hahahaha [20:53:29] hahahahahahahahhah [20:54:44] o_o [20:56:09] Hahahaha [20:56:12] I really want to play this thing [20:57:40] Apparently I've aged three years since logging on [20:58:04] God dammit [20:58:11] My Lazengann figure broke [20:58:16] ... crap. [20:58:23] And it's at least 50 bucks to get a new one [21:02:34] Man, that sucks. :/ [21:02:43] (also what the fuck is a Lazengann) [21:02:43] Yeah :/ [21:02:58] Lazengann is Lord Genome's mecha [21:03:07] The evangelion-lookin ganmen [21:04:06] How badly did it break? [21:06:05] !!! FUCK [21:06:19] My Gurren-Lagann figure too >:( >:( >:( [21:06:25] Damn [21:06:38] Yon: The right wris snapped off its peg [21:08:12] And my Gurren-Lagann is broken at one of it's hip pad thingies. The revoltech joint thing apparently exploded [21:08:20] So it's in three parts [21:08:32] Plus its leg is scratched up [21:08:35] http://www.thq-games.com/uk/news/show/6377 hahahah [21:08:58] Shit. That doesn't sound repairable. :( [21:09:28] Charles, do you know if you can login to the FCPD security terminal? [21:09:47] In HellMOO? Don't think I've tried it [21:11:49] I can repair Lazengann with superglue if I sacrifice some posability [21:18:19] Perception [21:18:20] 1d20+15 [21:18:21] Eilenia rolls 1D20+15: 5 +15 = 20 [21:18:26] ... er [21:18:31] +5 [21:18:33] Not +15 [21:18:36] So I rolled a 10. :| [21:18:49] Not quite good enough [21:19:35] Anyone else want to toss out an active roll? [21:20:16] 1d20+6 [21:20:17] Paera rolls 1D20+6: 20 +6 = 26 [21:20:21] * Plow makes [21:20:31] 1d20+9 [21:20:32] Plow rolls 1D20+9: 5 +9 = 14 [21:20:33] one sec [21:20:36] Blah [21:20:47] daaaaaaamn [21:20:53] +9? You trained perception? [21:21:03] 1d20+10 [21:21:03] Xan rolls 1D20+10: 18 +10 = 28 [21:21:05] Yah. [21:21:07] I think you're confusing your passive perception for your perception check [21:21:07] heheh [21:21:13] My passive is 19 [21:21:20] Oh [21:21:29] Wow, what're you doing with such high Wis? [21:21:37] Modifies my artificer powers [21:21:41] Oh [21:21:44] cool [21:21:56] Woulda thought you'd go for the Con stuff [21:22:02] Well, I has that too. [21:22:06] heh [21:22:34] Alright, Paera can make out what sounds like a conversation between an Eladrin and what sounds like, judging by the accent, a hag [21:23:04] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swJXvvYg-JM Ahahah holy shit [21:23:10] So can Xan, but he can't understand a thing [21:23:22] (Unless he knows elven, I forget) [21:23:33] he does [21:23:41] A hag? Like someone that just sounds like an old woman or am I missing something? [21:23:44] What about Plow? [21:23:49] nm [21:23:50] Hags are a fey race [21:23:51] Deep speech [21:23:51] Think Baba Yaga [21:24:04] Yon: hahhaahah [21:24:29] They're talking about the necessity of a sacrifice to bridge the gap between the Feywild and Shadowfell. The eladrin seems solemn [21:27:57] You know, Baba Yaga could be someone Eve's heard of. [21:28:12] I think Baba Yaga's been mentioned in the Feywild chapter of the Manual of the Planes [21:28:18] She is, yeah. She's an Archfey [21:28:22] And since Tsavarogorov = Russia.... [21:28:48] Eve could totally freak the fuck out at mention of her. [21:28:55] Hahaha [21:28:56] Eventually I told her "zot" was HellMOO slang for "forgive". [21:28:56] [zotnet] Torn says, "I want to be "zotted." That's what I'm here for." [21:28:56] [zotnet] ****ZOT**** Hrist zots Torn. [21:28:56] [zotnet] Hrist says, "DONE" [21:28:57] From your wristpad: Torn pages, 'WHY AM I ON FIRE?' [21:29:01] hahahah [21:29:05] "Sh-she is being real?! Quick! Be hiding your teeth!" [21:29:23] * Eve_Kasnora covers her mouth with both hands. "Hurry!" she says, muffled. [21:32:33] Who's got a passive insight of 15 or higher? [21:32:40] Me. :/ [21:32:42] Me, I think [21:32:42] If you do you can tell Eve is TERRIFIED of that name [21:32:44] me [21:32:58] Oh, I lied [21:33:05] Plow is the only one not empathic enough. <_< [21:33:09] She's holding it in well, though, almost like she's embarassed. [21:34:20] Quick, Charles, what're some Baba Yaga myths [21:34:45] Hut of Brown, Sit Down [21:35:03] ... well, not quite [21:35:11] She has a giant mortar and pestle [21:35:15] She rides in it and it flies [21:35:18] Passive insight 21 [21:35:29] She has a hut with giant chicken legs that walks around [21:35:47] She enjoys eating frogs and mandrake root. :| [21:35:51] hahahah [21:36:07] She's usually an antagonist in stories, though in some stories, people seek her out for her wisdom [21:36:15] "In some fairy tales, such as The Feather of Finist the Falcon, the hero meets not with one but three Baba Yagas. Such figures are usually benevolent, giving the hero advice or magical presents, or both" [21:36:17] And VERY occasionally, she openly offers help [21:36:23] hey, are we going to end it soon? [21:36:36] She lives in a log cabin that moves around on a pair of dancing chicken legs, and/or surrounded by a palisade with a skull on each pole. The keyhole to her front door is a mouth filled with sharp teeth; the fence outside is made with human bones with skulls on top, often with one pole lacking its skull, leaving space for the hero or heroes. In another legend, the house does not reveal the door until it is told a magical phrase: Turn your back to the [21:36:42] I think so [21:36:44] Turn your back to the [21:36:54] back to the forest, your front to me. [21:37:06] I gotta jet. Gonna call it a night. Later guys. [21:37:09] Let's call it here. I wasn't expecting to start this late. :/ [21:37:16] Had fun [21:37:16] Well [21:37:19] * Xan (rustangel@ip-117-113.atvci.net) Quit (Quit: I am not ignorant, I am intelligent. I'm not an ape, I am the way, I am the truth. I am religion, I am politics, I am a psychoanalyst, I'm an inkblot shaped like Zeus) [21:37:33] You guys can keep talking, but we're out of narrative events [21:37:42] nah, I'm good [21:37:43] * Eve_Kasnora is now known as NovaSeaker [21:37:46] * ChanServ sets mode: +o NovaSeaker [21:37:53] I kinda wanted to keep talking. :( [21:37:59] I'd want to research more about Baba Yaga before going into how horrified Eve is of her [21:38:11] I can keep talking tomorrow if people want to play tomorrow, though it's kinda short notice. [21:38:16] I kinda want to go to bed early, so this is a good time. [21:38:20] * Paera is now known as Yon [21:38:32] Night [21:38:37] Me too, I have to be awake early to prepare for my interview [21:38:39] Night Yon [21:38:44] Good luck CHa! [21:38:45] Also, I'm curious now about what like... Asian Feywild must be like [21:38:46] Good luck [21:38:52] Night guys. Hope it goes well, Cha. [21:38:55] * Yon is now known as sleepyon [21:39:15] I guess I'll take off too! [21:39:19] I dunno. I'm not sure it really *needs* to be different [21:39:28] Have a good night, all. Good luck at your interview, Charles. [21:39:38] * Plow is now known as MattyQ [21:39:44] Dunno [21:39:49] Like, I imagine various cultures are kinda reflected in their feywild and shadowfell, but not to the point where it's cosmologically different [21:39:51] Night, Matt [21:39:55] I know the Monkey KIng's an archfey [21:39:58] * MattyQ (matthewwil@ool-4571fda3.dyn.optonline.net) Quit (Quit: MattyQ) [21:40:07] I was mostly thinking scenery and the like [21:40:18] There's probably a hell of a lot more nature spirits [21:40:42] Like, dyrads belonging to this specific tree, nerids to that stream [21:41:01] Where they can be found everywhere, they're more abundant there maybe [21:41:15] [21:40:13] GlassParkingLot: http://kimag.es/share/44683446.jpg [21:41:15] [21:40:20] GlassParkingLot: http://kimag.es/share/75557935.jpg [21:41:15] [21:40:48] GlassParkingLot: "chinese restaurants seem to have gotten the impression that ?? (jizong, a kind of mushroom native to one of china's provinces and little-known elsewhere) is known as "wikipedia" in english [21:41:15] i can only speculate as to the cause of this odd manifestation of the cultural takeover of the world by english" [21:41:15] [21:40:54] GlassParkingLot: "for what it's worth, wikipedia is called ???? in chinese and that doesnt look anything like ??" [21:41:36] * Eilenia nods [21:41:54] That reminds me. Is anyone a little disappointed with the dryads being tree-people and not looking like women anymore? [21:41:55] Oh, that reminds me, Nova, I've actually started coming up with PC races based on Japanese mythology and it's going pretty well. :toot: [21:42:03] A bit [21:42:05] It jst seems weird to me [21:42:51] I just need to think of a good background for foxes (and maybe tanuki). I think Yama, Jyuu, and Tsukumogami are pretty much good to be written up [21:45:08] (Yama are creatures from the Shadowfell who claim divine heritage (possibly as children of Nerull?), and who inhabit the ruins of ancient empires, setting up shadowy courts, and archiving the deeds of dead civilizations [21:45:38] Jyuu are from the feywild, and are a fey humanoid race tainted by the elemental chaos. Basically oni, in that they drink and drink and drink and drink and fight [21:46:37] Kinda giant-ish? [21:46:52] And Tsukumogami are magical and normal items that have gained sentience over the years, who work together to accomplish their goals. Mechanically, I was thinking that they might have race 'types' based on whatever object is currently the 'boss' object [21:47:08] Like Armorkind tsuko would get a defensive bonus as an encounter power or the like [21:47:32] Dem: That's a good connection to make, yeah. Though I dunno if they should have a physical elemental aspect [21:47:48] What do you mean? [21:48:11] Like, a low of giants are tied to elements [21:48:17] Lot, rather [21:49:34] aah [21:49:44] Yeah, I don't really see them being like... lement-like [21:50:08] GIants aren't really that elemental-ish too. I think. [21:50:14] They might think in elemental terms, and they're probably pretty hot blooded [21:50:15] What're the next two steps up? One is Titan [21:50:23] It's just giant then titan [21:50:29] Unless you go giant-titan-primordial [21:50:29] aah [21:50:57] Cool [21:51:00] Honestly, I really like the idea of the jyuu racial paragon path being an unarmed brawler PP [21:51:02] I wonder when we'll get a book dedicated to the Feywil.d [21:51:12] So if you play a Tsukumogami, you're actually like, an amalgamation of items? [21:51:15] The Plane Below is just honestly not what I was looking forward to in a planar book [21:51:47] Cha: You could probably use the Self-Forged as a starting place for that actually. Minus ROCKET PAAAANCHU! [21:51:52] With one of the first abilities being, like, 'You get an unarmed attack and can transfer a melee weapon enchantment to this by eating the melee weapon' [21:52:04] Nova: I was thinking more like, say, powers that tossed enemies around [21:52:07] Actually I'm happy we're getting the Plane Below [21:52:19] I dunno about "eating the melee wepaon" [21:52:21] Why's that? [21:52:22] Because currently the Elemental Chaos is the least interesting place to me. [21:52:28] Like, say, 3W damage and the enemy is shifted strength mod squares [21:52:39] And if it ends this shift next to an enemy, make a secondary attack [21:52:39] slid [21:52:43] slide [21:52:49] :V [21:52:52] On a hit they both take 1W [21:52:57] Thats cool [21:53:24] Like, a self-forged might be a brawler, but I see the ideal Jyuu just being this absurd force of chaos that throws people around and all that [21:53:33] yeah [21:53:45] You can look at the stats for the battlefist though [21:53:50] Dem: It'd be a little weird, but it seems really hot-blooded to devour your magic sword [21:53:52] * Charles nods [21:53:56] And see what type of features you can give along with it. [21:54:04] I was thinking, racially, they might already get a kinda shitty unarmed attack [21:54:10] Maybe count their unarmed attack as a club [21:54:30] I could see that. Maybe they'd be like dwarves without a racial power [21:55:46] But yeah, a book on the Elemental Chaos is really what I need for it. Right now in my mind it's just "limbo, with the abyss" and limbo was a shitty shitty plane. [21:55:55] Yeah [21:56:05] The bit in MotP was a help, since it mentioned some cities [21:56:11] But aside from that, who cares? [21:56:21] I guess, though, that the non-worldly planes are like that [21:56:21] So if they can dedicate a book to what makes it interesting, and it's anything nearly as good as the MotP was, I'll be happy. [21:56:38] Infinite expanses of worthless bullshit with some tourist attractions to make them worth going to [21:56:45] Honestly, I think the only thing in the Elemental Chaos I might be interested in is Tharizdun and the Abyss [21:56:49] Well the Astral Sea at least has some space-analogue going for it. [21:56:51] Nova: Dwarves without a racial power? [21:56:55] Dem: City of Brass is cool [21:57:18] Also, the city that is the remnant of an ancient empire [21:57:23] Cha: They can be like dwarves, who do not have a racial encounter power. As in, you just give em slightly more static bonii than a normal race. Like havign club fists. [21:57:39] Oh, I see [21:57:56] I thought you meant they were like dwarves, except they didn't have a racial encounter power [21:58:01] heh [21:58:18] The thing with dwarves is I think that they get away with it because they do an inherent power (second wind) better than anyone else [21:58:40] Being able to Second Wind without pissing away a turn or an AP is a pretty awesome encounter power [21:59:08] Yeah [21:59:19] Yeah [21:59:43] (I love dwarven armor) [21:59:54] haha [22:00:03] Also, now that Plow's back, I'm pretty sure he can recharge my dwarven armor after a use of it. [22:00:06] You gonna play a dwarf in some future D&D game? [22:00:12] Nah [22:00:17] Dwarves aren't my thing [22:00:49] I dunno what else every character does that could be improved on [22:00:55] http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/360_Gallery/dragon360_01.jpg They aren't? [22:01:12] Maybe a bonus to AP gain, but that could do WEIRD things with balance [22:01:25] And butt in on the human racial paragon path, IIRC [22:01:46] Maybe "Any weapon attacks can be made using Strength instead of the power's normal ability for the attack and damage roll" [22:02:08] So suddenly they become really good and just hitting shit, no matter how they do it or why. [22:02:59] Eh, I dunno. [22:03:00] Hm. [22:03:03] Tricky... [22:03:07] Or just the attack roll, if you want to use Bard's Combat Virtuoso feat as an example. [22:03:09] That goes directly against one of the things I really like about 4e [22:03:26] Like, stats other than strength are useful for melee guys. [22:03:35] It might work as a racial feat, though [22:03:41] Where any multiclass or half-elf delitantte power can be used with Charisma for the attack roll. [22:03:45] Just not something I'd want to apply across the board to everyone [22:04:07] Well strength would be important for melee still [22:04:32] Just not for these guys, which if I'm thinking the big club wielding oni guys, [22:04:39] ....I got that backwards [22:05:08] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanamara_Matsuri what [22:05:11] "non-strength" melee is still important, just not for these guys, who are big and burly and even Avengers of them should just be smashing shit [22:05:18] Yeah, the thing is, doing that seems like a step backwards for me, because I *really* like other stats mattering [22:05:53] Like, it kind of seems like making a race where their martial classes can only use basic attacks but can make one for every five levels. :V [22:06:14] Hah [22:06:37] I don't see it as being that drastic. Like, I got the idea from something that currently exists in the game. [22:06:57] Bards can make all powers care almost exclusively about Charisma. [22:07:03] Yeah, it's not that drastic. But I think doing it for a class is on a different scale from doing it for a race [22:07:17] * NovaSeaker nods. [22:07:51] I read Charisma as "Canada" :( [22:07:52] Like, bards are meant to be super-versitile and that helps, and I think 'all bards are statistically similar' is better than 'All elves are statistically similar' or something [22:07:54] * Eilenia is now known as Demota [22:08:02] There is also a legend of a sharp-toothed demon that hid inside the vagina of a young girl and castrated two young men on their wedding nights with the young girl before a blacksmith fashioned an iron phallus to break the demon's teeth, leading to the enshrinement of the item. [22:08:02] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFShaDcoJNY [22:10:37] And yeah, the tsuko are going to be an amalgamation of items [22:10:50] How do they talk? Instruments? [22:10:59] Magic, I figure [22:11:00] Or just a hollow kind of voice? [22:11:12] Maybe, yeah. It probably depends on what they're made of [22:11:31] Implementkind could be neat [22:12:54] Yeah. Not sure what that'd do exactly. Probably extend range on spells in some way [22:13:07] Hahaha, I love John abjuring the hell out of the idea of cookies [22:16:19] I figure they're not even necessarily magical, just items where their primal spirits woke up and started working together [22:16:55] I'm seeing them less like hollow suits of armor and maybe more like a bunch of objects in a vaguely manlike shape, though that may change [22:17:14] * Demota nods [22:18:21] Like, one tsuko might have a paper lantern for a head, an umbrella and a bolt of cloth for a torso, and a ladder for legs, while another one might have been a hut that awakenened, bending its mud walls and wooden supports into a human form.
